Climbing Magazine reported a couple days ago that Layton Kor had passed away due to kidney failure and prostrate cancer. I didn't post it up on the site since the news feeds from Rock and Ice covered it.

However, I wanted to highlight the forum over on Supertopo where there are some nice tributes to the climber and more importantly to the man himself. What he gave to all that tied onto the end of his rope or just followed in his footsteps...
